Cleardrive™ Benefits
COST SAVINGS - The Cleardrive™ no fill 6-lobe feature can reduce manufacturing cost 70% per pound by replacing high-cost electro platings
with low-cost high-performance organic coatings
.
AUTOMATION - The Cleardrive™ no fill 6-lobe feature allows for assembly automation by ensuring a clear recess
UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE - The Cleardrive™ no fill 6-lobe feature can
be specified as an optional head construction for driver sizes T20-T40 in
pan-head and round-washer head configurations and ensures bit-fit performance and offers equivalent mechanical performance to comparable standard six-lobe recessed drives
TORQUE TENSION - The Cleardrive™ no fill 6-lobe feature allows for
the use of low-cost high-performance organic coatings which provide a
lower and more consistent torque tension characteristic than electro platings
ERGONOMICS - The Cleardrive™ no fill 6-lobe feature improves assembly productivity by eliminating poor bit engagement caused by recess fill
CORROSION - The Cleardrive™ no fill 6-lobe feature allows for the use
of low-cost high-performance organic coatings which provide superior
resistance to corrosion
How Cleardrive™ Works
ClearDrive™ is a feature added to the head of a fastener allowing a free channel for organic coatings to flow during the dip spin process and eliminating unnecessary sorting |
